Nickel-Clad Copper Conductors
Nickel-clad copper (NCC) combines a copper core with a nickel outer layer. It is considered for connections where the surface material, joining process and conductor resistance need to work together.

Round wire, flat wire and other forms are assessed to the project specification. The drawing should define the nickel layer and state whether the ratio is measured by mass, area or thickness.
Clad NCC and nickel-plated copper have different constructions. A specification for one should not be assumed to cover the other.
There is no single service-temperature limit for every NCC construction. Temperature profile, exposure duration, atmosphere and joint design determine what needs to be tested. The same applies to corrosion and welding performance.
Send the drawing, intended use, joining method, operating conditions and quantity. Available forms, samples and test data are confirmed for the proposed construction.
